"Racism; political, social, or economic oppression; religious zealotry; ethnic animus; nationalism; old grievances and grudges passed down from generation to generation; dormant one minute, erupting the next. We kill each other, and the AIDS pandemic keeps expanding—tens of millions dead and dying—feeding on denial, inequity, and greed, human hope and misery; destroying families, crippling economies, transforming societies. Before September 11, most people in this country lived as if all that pain and suffering were occurring on another planet. But that was an illusion. It was all happening here. Ask the woman living in inner-city America about terrorism, and she'll talk ...

Award-Winning Anti-gun Book an Apparent Fraud An award-winning book that was hailed by gun control advocates when it was released last year was based on distorted interpretations of historical records and cited evidence that, in some cases, may have been completely fabricated, the New York Times reported Saturday. Emory University professor Michael Bellesiles, whose book "Arming America: The Origins of the National Gun Culture" caused a sensation with Second Amendment foes last year with its claims that gun ownership in the U.S. was "an invented tradition," may have perpetrated what the paper described as "one of the worst academic ...

The authorities in Mexico had threatened to close the northern border with the US if Washington continued to block access to Mexican trucks on safety grounds. The US has now agreed to replace lengthy individual inspections with random checks on drivers and trucks, provided Mexico carries out regular checks within its borders. The dispute started five ...

Saturday, Nov. 24, 2001"Afghan women have lost lives, family members, basic human rights, human dignity and the right to be respected. Soon they might lose something that destroys humanity. They might lose hope." Those were the words of Belquis Ahmadi, a young lawyer from Afghanistan. I had invited her to a White House Human Rights Day celebration in 1999, and I am reminded what she said that day as I watch women in Afghanistan begin to emerge from the oppression of the Taliban. Some are choosing to remove the burkas they had been required to wear in public. Some are ...

Benediction Since it’s very inception, the American military has been called on to perform duties requiring amazing courage and self-sacrifice. General George Washington took a ragtag Continental Army and crossed the Delaware River to attack an enemy force in New Jersey. In the dead of a brutal winter, many of his soldiers didn’t even have shoes. They were victorious.
